0 bytes uploaded. TAR.GZ to ZIP Converter runs entirely in your browser using fflate, zip.js, and libarchive WASM. Your archive files never leave your device.
ZIP can store Unix mode bits as an extended attribute (0x000d / 0x0a01 extra field), but support is patchy. The Linux unzip command reads them; Windows Explorer ignores them. The mode bits from TAR are forwarded.
TAR can store symlinks; ZIP cannot natively. Symlink entries become 0-byte files in the output ZIP — flagged in the conversion report so you know to re-create them on extraction.
No — ZIP has no hardlink concept. Hardlinks become independent file copies in the output, which may significantly increase total size for archives with many hardlinks.
